AUTHENTIC VIENNESE GOULASH (WIENER FIAKERGULASCH)



Authentic Viennese Goulash (Wiener Fiakergulasch) image

While goulash originated in Hungary, Vienna made it it's own. Dating back to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, goulash became a staple of Austrian and particularly Viennese cuisine and can be found in any gasthaus throughout Austria. The secret to get this beautiful dark color is to saute the onions until very dark before adding the meat. Use hungarian paprika but don't let it burn, it will get bitter. In Vienna, Gulasch is served either with a fresh kaiser roll or bread dumplings called "Semmelknodel" and many time features a pickle as garnish.Good luck and enjoy!

HUNGARIAN GOULASH I



Hungarian Goulash I image

A spicy way to dress up stew beef. My mom made this when we were kids, and we loved it. It is spicy while not mouth-burning! Can be made with cheaper cuts of beef, and comes out very tender. If it gets too thick, add a little water while it's cooking. Garnish with sour cream.

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews     Goulash Recipes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 onions, sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
¼ cup smoked Spanish paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
3 pounds lean beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 ½ cups water
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (10 ounce) package egg noodles
½ cup sour cream
8 sprigs fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions until they soften and begin to brown at the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for one minute. Transfer mixture to a slow cooker. Cover and set cooker to Low.
  • Mix together paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss the meat cubes in the paprika mixture until evenly coated.
  • Heat one tablespoon of the oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Put a third of the beef cubes into the skillet and cook until nicely browned on all sides. Transfer to the slow cooker. Pour 2 tablespoons of water into the skillet and scrape the browned bits from the pan; pour liquid into the slow cooker. This prevents the paprika from burning when you brown the next batches of beef. Add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet and cook the next batch the same way; repeat for the third batch.
  • Stir the tomato paste and the rest of the water into the slow cooker; cover. Cook on High for 4 to 5 hours (or on Low for 6 to 9 hours).
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the egg noodles, and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the noodles have cooked through, but are still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Serve goulash over noodles with a dollop of sour cream and a sprig of parsley.

Hearty beef & paprika stew

Provided by atimetotaste2020

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 kg beef ((shank or stewing beef is best))
160 ml vegetable oil
800 g onion ((roughly 7 medium onions))
1 tbsp vinegar
60 ml water
50 g paprika
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp marjoran
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp tomato puree
water ((to add to sauce continuously) )

Steps:

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. Meanwhile, peel and half the onions. Cut them into thin strips and add to the hot oil.
  • Stirring often, lightly fry the onions until they become soft and have developed a golden colour, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the paprika and toast for 30 seconds. Deglaze the saucepan with the vinegar diluted in 60 ml of water. Allow to steam for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the beef, salt, herbs and tomato puree. Stir to coat all beef pieces, then turn down the heat to medium low. Partially cover the saucepan and let the meat steam in the sauce for 15 minutes. Add a little extra water if the bottom of the pan starts to show.
  • When the outside of the beef pieces is cooked but the centre is still uncooked, add enough water to cover the beef pieces completely. Cook uncovered on a low heat for 1.5 hours.
  • Optional: gently remove the beef and, using an immersion blender, puree the sauce until smooth. Add the beef back to the sauce and serve.

BEEF STEW WITH SWEET AND HOT PAPRIKA



Beef Stew With Sweet and Hot Paprika image

After a tasting session focusing on Priorat wines back in 2005, Florence Fabricant was looking for a meal pairing that could stand up to the wines' heft. She found what she was looking for in a beef stew featured in "Italian Slow and Savory" by Joyce Goldstein. She adapted it by swapping the stew meat for short ribs, and cooking it in a Dutch oven or heavy casserole, but if a tagine is available to you, that also works. "If you use a tagine for the recipe, it must be a large one, about 17 inches in diameter," Florence writes. "For a smaller one, 12 to 14 inches, you can make the dish to serve four, reducing the quantities of ingredients by one-third."

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds beef stew meat or 4 pounds short ribs with bone, in 2-inch chunks
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons sweet paprika, Spanish or Hungarian
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup dry red wine
1 1/2 cups chopped, seeded canned plum tomatoes, with some juice
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 bay leaf, sprig fresh marjoram and sprig rosemary, tied together

Steps:

  • Place meat in a bowl, add 1/4 cup oil, 1 tablespoon paprika, salt and pepper. Rub seasonings all over meat. Cover and allow to marinate 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in refrigerator.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and brown meat on all sides in stages to keep from crowding, adding more oil if needed. Transfer meat to a heavy casserole or a large tagine. Lower heat, add remaining oil and onions and sauté until tender.
